A Twittle Poem Formula For You And I To Try

This is something I have learned to enjoy, trying a poem format I haven’t tried before, and including rhyme where possible. Rhyme is why.

“Twittle Poem Formula:

* It is a 100-letter,

* Four-line,

* Very short,

* Micro-poem.”

Wire Editor Newman

This challenge came from Medium writers. It involves writing a “Twittle Poem.” AL had been tagged by Sheila McCall. The original challenge article has been credited to Carolyn Hastings. I was tagged by Denise Kendig.

I didn’t stay up for hours so my Twittle is not a superpower or as great as others, but rather right off the top and with rhyme. I love trying new formats and will share this one in A Poem A Day In February on Facebook.

Right off the top, means I just finished a texting conversation with a 20s-something granddaughter.

Here are my first attempts at two fabulous Twittle Poems:

Here is my first:

Who knew I wouldn’t know a thing

Is this what aging will bring

I forgot teens know everything

Some twenties be oversharing

****

And here is my second:

College degree means nothing

Life experience is not a thing

Addiction demands negativity

I always approve positivity
